S4C has won two awards in the Celtic Media Festival 2022 which took place in Quimper, Brittany this week.

The fly-on-the-wall documentary Prif Weinidog Mewn Pandemig (Zwwm Films) won the award in the Current Affairs category. This unique programme follows the life and work of Wales's First Minister Mark Drakeford during the extraordinary time of the Covid19 pandemic.

Also, the animated film Sol won the award for Best Children's Programme. This sensitive and warm-hearted film deals with grief and was financed through the Young Audiences Content Fund.

This year's Celtic Media Festival took place after the event had been held online for the last two years.

Llinos Griffin Williams, S4C's Chief Content Officer said: "We are delighted that S4C programmes have been recognised in the Celtic Media Festival, and have won in two competitive categories.

"Many congratulations to the producers and all the talented teams who have worked so hard on these programmes."
